No. 10: Matt Ryan – Atlanta Falcons

Regular Season Record: 67-48
Postseason Record: 1-4

Ryan is a two-time Pro-Bowl quarterback who has thrown for 28,166 yards in his first seven seasons, and has a career passer rating of 91.1 to go with his 64 percent pass completions.

He was nearly unbeatable at home during his first five seasons, and led the league in comeback victories. The Falcons rose to unprecedented franchise heights with Ryan under center, and he’s broken just about every career and single-season passing record in Atlanta’s history.

But in the postseason…Matty Ice has meltdowns. The Falcons have been the number one seed in the NFC twice during his career, and both times failed to reach the Super Bowl. During the regular season, Ryan throws more than twice as many TDs as interceptions, but in postseason that ratio falls to 9/7.

Matt will have a new head coach for the first time in his career in 2015, so perhaps if Atlanta gets back to the playoffs, he can start to even out his postseason record.
